What Did You Call Me?

Without Foundation Establishment, one remains but an ant!

Having once again experienced firsthand the unfathomable intervention methods of Foundation Establishment True Person, Qi Yun's desire for the Foundation Establishment Realm intensified!

However, at that moment, the feeling of being watched made Qi Yun suddenly uncomfortable.

He followed his instincts and looked in that direction.

But instead of the group of the Outer Mansion below who should have been going mad from the Six Desires Bewitching Powder, they were all staring straight at him.

Huh? How come they're all awake now?

Five times the potency, lasting at least several hours...

It's the Black Mountain True Person!

Qi Yun immediately realized that the Black Mountain True Person in the ditch must have tricked him again, taking advantage of the moment when he rescued Yue Rong to wipe away the Six Desires Bewitching Powder from the bodies of these Outer Mansion members.

Your mother...

Almost unable to hold back his curses, Qi Yun clenched his fists, his mind racing as he considered how to escape.

He inadvertently noticed the gazes of these Outer Mansion who had regained their senses.

There was no hatred, no rage; in almost everyone's eyes, a sense of awe and apprehension was evident...

Slightly taken aback, Qi Yun immediately understood.

I understand now. The Six Desires Bewitching Powder only amplifies their desires; it does not cloud their consciousness.

Therefore, these disciples from the Outer Mansion clearly witnessed my fierce battle with Yue Rong and my complete defeat of him.

They're... afraid of me?!

Who is Yue Rong?

The direct descendant of Foundation Establishment True Person!

He cultivates the lineage of True Person cultivator. During the last test, his domineering and invincible demeanor left an indelible psychological shadow on many people present. Many people were personally "sent" out by him!

Just now, this domineering and arrogant Foundation Establishment descendant was defeated by the incompetent leader in front of them, whom they had always thought was just lucky.

Defeat them head-on!

Doesn't that say it all?

After a brief silence, the bald-browed, headless Outer Mansion disciple who had been the first to jump into the Old Dragon Pool clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qi Yun and roared in a booming voice:

"Leader!"

This shout was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing everyone present to change their expressions, and the last trace of hesitation in their eyes was quickly suppressed.

Looking at the bald disciple bowing before him, Qi Yun's eyes flickered slightly. He forcefully circulated his barely recovered Innate True Qi and shouted in a deep voice:

"What did you call me? I can't hear you!"

His loud and clear question, carrying the lingering power of his recent victory over a formidable foe, was awe-inspiring!

In an instant!

Those Outer Mansion who had initially hesitated seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, bowing their heads solemnly, cupping their hands in a fist salute, their voices quickly changing from chaotic to unified, merging into a single wave of sound.

"Leader!"

"Leader!"

"Leader!"

The chain reaction took full effect, and one after another, the Outer Mansion bowed and submitted. In the the Unseen, an inexplicable aura suddenly blessed Qi Yun, making him exude a heavy and awe-inspiring majesty!

Haha, great!

These are yours!

Qi Yun took out the Dharma Enlightenment Bell he had retrieved earlier from his Storage Bag, and with a wave of his hand, threw out twenty of them.

Seeing a large number of Dharma Enlightenment Bell being thrown out, the disciples from the Outer Mansion rushed to grab them. They had traveled thousands of miles, risking their lives to come here, just for these things!

The scene instantly spiraled out of control again, and a chaotic scramble, even more intense than the previous underwater search for the bell, suddenly erupted.

The crowd, which had just barely calmed down, is about to fight again over the bell!

When the crowd finally calmed down from their scrambling, some people were all smiles, while others were cursing and swearing as they looked up at where Qi Yun had been standing.

The place was completely deserted.

Only the mountain wind howls and the rain falls.

Transforming into Fresh Breeze, Qi Yun strained to circulate his remaining Innate True Qi, channeling it into his legs to enhance his footwork.

The disciples of the Holy Sect are no pushovers.

Although he temporarily intimidated those people by defeating Yue Rong in a direct confrontation.

But once these wolf cubs realize what's happening, they'll understand that after such a fierce battle, he was probably already at his limit.

At that point... not even the leader, let alone his own father, would be of any use.

Therefore, he could only use the Dharma Enlightenment Bell to distract these people so that he could escape safely.

"Entering the [Hall of All Dharmas] only requires one Dharma Enlightenment Bell; any more are of no use..." Qi Yun comforted himself, gently patting his chest, but the throbbing veins still revealed his fluctuating emotions.

"Damn it! A whole twenty Dharma Enlightenment Bell!"

If I take back the Holy Sect, I can raise the price and squeeze them for a hefty sum!

Qi Yun, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath.

In his mental notebook, he made another note for Black Mountain True Person.

Traveling swiftly, instead of following the normal route back to the Wuji Sacred Sect, Qi Yun took a completely off-the-beaten-path direction and arrived at a rather bustling mortal town.

The Holy Sect will definitely return.

But we absolutely cannot go back in this exhausted state.

As disciples of the Holy Sect, even a fool could imagine how many cunning schemers lurk around the Holy Sect's gates, waiting to snatch the Dharma Enlightenment Bell from those who had obtained them, so they could steal them halfway through their journey.

"There's still plenty of time. I'll return to the Holy Sect once I'm back to my peak condition." Landing by a stream outside the town, Qi Yun changed out of his blood-stained white robe and took out a gray-blue cloth garment from his Storage Bag.

After changing clothes, tying up his hair, and washing his face, the Sha Qi leader of the Holy Sect disappeared.

Instead, there was a wealthy scholar with gentle features and a scholarly air.

Looking down at his reflection in the stream, Qi Yun nodded in satisfaction.

Admittedly, his appearance in this life was exceptionally striking.

His bone structure is gentle and refined, with distinct features.

In addition, having lived two lives, his eyes always exuded a composure beyond his years, and having lived in the Holy Sect for many years, a hint of Evil Qi would occasionally flash in his eyes.

In the secular world, he would surely bewitch countless beautiful women.

"The truly wise hide in the city, the lesser wise hide in the forest."

This place is adjacent to a large county, and the sect members here won't cause trouble, which is perfect for me to focus on recovering my cultivation.

Qi Yun didn't choose this resting place arbitrarily; he had already made up his mind on the way to Old Dragon Pool.

The imperial court is currently at its zenith.

The dynasty's fortunes are at their zenith.

Its power overwhelms all directions!

Even a powerful sect like the Wuji Sacred Sect wouldn't provoke the imperial court without a reason.

Therefore, compared to the desolate wilderness, this town is actually more suitable for hiding.

Having finished arranging everything, Qi Yun was about to step into the town when a faint yet strangely familiar aura drifted into his senses on the wind.

"This is..."

A hint of surprise crossed his face. Qi Yun suddenly looked up, gazing at the town not far away, and hesitated before whispering:

"Yao Qi?"
